i made it through my first vino Viernes, wine Friday. This was a day,
When my husband went to work, I opened a big bottle of wine and spent the whole day drinking and napping. Totally nonproductive and selfish. What did I get out of it? Well, the first few glasses,
I felt great; stress free, melancholy, even happy. After that, numb, finally; ashamed, guilt ridden, self loathing, ugly,
Afraid to answer the phone or door, etc. yesterday, after having kids and grands for dinner, I went to bed with a guilt free mind and spirit. I said my prayers, giving thanks for all my blessings
And awoke with a sense of pride, rather than guilt.
I know drinking is a choice. I have read in other posts, where people refer to that moment when
We think we can handle just one or two drinks as the "blind spot".
I've never heard of it referred to that way. I think this will help
Me push through those moments until I can see clear again.
Thank you to whomever said that. I don't remember who it was.
So many of us longing to be free of this ball and chain. I quit smoking years ago and never
Wanted to take it up again. This is how I'd like to leave drinking behind
As well. Thank you all for being here. Your posts, struggles, triumphs,
Ideas and support are all crucial
In all our successes. God bless!????
